To Oleg or Luthier: 4.09 / mods question

[LEXX]

Falke::

Even what you just posted, Lexx, that MG knew about the crack and didn't intervene is easily seen as a bad support for this game, incompetence from MG and 1C to handle such a situation and act accordingly. And after all the stuff that was given to us for free, is that really your message?

I'm not sure. Its something that I read on the forums so your guess or conspiracy theory is as good as anybody's. You will have to go back to re-read what I poasted before quoting me again at this forum. That seems to be a behavioral problem you are having with others as well, at least in this thread, and leaves others wondering what your "message" is.

Your Quote from a page before: "Granted, it is said on the forums that Oleg knew about the hack several years ago, yet he did not prevent the hack from becoming widely used after the end of the sim's development."

As I said, it's not that difficult to interpret this comment as a direct critics on Oleg and his lack of ability to do something against it. I don't think you wrote that due to my behavioral problems? You surely had a message and I just asked myself what message was and how people interpret messages like that, quoted or originally written by yourself.

There are other interpretations. The most comedic was made by hysterical anti-mod anonymous public server players at the unmoderated ubi forums claiming that Oleg allowed the hack mods to "kill" FB to push customers to BoB And Beyond.

I found it funny since it would theoretically push a small minority of anonymous public server people to the new sim, leaving the private server players and the larger offline customer base to enjoy FB modding. The claim doesn't make sense, unless FB is purely an Online Pay-To-Play sim with no independent private servers. But then, these hysterical anonymous public server players always considered FB to be a pure Online sim with no independent private servers. So the claim *does* make sense when viewed with that fogged perspective.

Agreed, that's funny indeed and equally pointless.

[LEXX]

I won't say it was pointless. Fruitless yes, obviously.

The Simhq FB forum restricted hackmod discussion to one (1) thread. Maybe that would be a working compromise here. I don't have membership on any modding forums, but obviously I enjoy poasting about Mod Theory.

[Feuerfalke]

Well, I think it's okay for SimHQ and there are a lot of other forums, where these things are not banned any longer. People who are interested in that will find it and that's okay with me.

On the other hand, you may call me an old-schooler, but to me it is a question of respect to not discuss mods on the official boards.

[LEXX]

Well, that's why it would be a compromise. No mod discussion outside of the one thread, and any attempts to do so get snipped and the snippee pays a fair and balanced price.

Hm, that's exactly my message:
The way it is already IS a great compromise. What other crack is promoted so much in the open? What would it help to post that here, too, other than to have 1C, UBI and MG agree, that they can't do anything against it?

That's what I mean with respect.
